Was attracted by the exhibit of T. M

It is remarkable fact thatsf slI the
booksellers in the south, oniV T. NJ.
Jones Co. OF this city have shown en-
terprise enough to carry so valuable s
work of art in their regular stock.
The place Of honor in this collection
has been given 20 J. L Gerome Ferns
MOORISH INCENSE BURNER,
who produced this immortal work when
only twenty-five, and who is to-
day the youngest of notable Amer
can etchers, being only in the
twenty-fith year of his age
The most striking face is that of ST
Jerome by w. 81. John Harper, and
etched from the original drawing by
Jose Ribers more generally known as
Spagnoletto, and one of the first masters
of chiaro-oscuro in the Spanish school.
Rbera's broad treatment OF light md
shade is illustrated i'll st. Jerome, and
what the reproducer had TO deal
with were broad effects and rich tones,
and it has seemed TO him that the slali-
ties of the original could be best pre-
served by the rich, soft, dry point line.
